Maushish, founder of Paystream, comes back 5 months after raising $750K through MetaDAO to give a honest account of what building post-raise actually looks like.

He covers his early skepticism about futarchy, how the Omnipair and Umbra raises convinced him, what the Ranger liquidation proved about the mechanism, and why Paystream has since pivoted from LPing to funding rate arbitrage on perps.

The back half of the conversation gets technical — how funding rate arb works, why most opportunities are under $20K, how Paystream's auto-close mechanism protects principal, and what the path to sustainability looks like before the treasury runs dry.

A rare episode that skips the pitch and goes straight to the reality of building inside the MetaDAO ecosystem.
